Goes on the side of the dominant hand.
Never occurred to me that I've never shot any firearm left handed. Wouldn't start with a pistol but I kinda wanna try it now with a rifle lol.
If I shoot anything like I throw left handed tho my curiosity will prolly kill the neighbors cat. Unless it is more than 3ft away, then it's completely safe lol.
If one owns weapons, I'd say it's a decent idea to learn some dexterity with the non-dominant hand.
Yeah...imagine actually getting in a gun fight and getting shot in the hand/arm only to then be completely useless.
Get training that lefty (or righty if you are a lefty!)
Exactly.
That was one of the requirements for getting a concealed carry license in the state I did it, six shots left, reload, six shots right, reload then depending on which target distance you were at either 6 shots on one knee or just another 6 shots dominant hand, but you had to do both short and long range and hit a certain percentage on the target.
That's excellent! In case of necessary circumstances, that's the way. I aim to get my act together in short order, before it's necessary. Wish me luck, please and thank you.
Yeah id ageee in theory but I feel like I should start in a batting cage or swinging lefty golfing. I am not in the slightest bit ambidextrous lol
You are not alone, I'm right there with you!
I carry a LCP, (subcompact .380). I practice two hand, right hand, left hand. I also always try and shoot a magazine or two with sunglasses on at an indoor range to simulate low light conditions.
It has like a three inch barrel, so it's not the most accurate or easy to aim. I only shoot it at seven yards.
It's nasty to shoot, lot of kick. I call it the Angry Cricket. Trigger pull is heavy as it is a double action with no safety. I carry it with one in the pipe.
Hope I never have to use it, but if I do, I will be as accurate as possible. That's the ethical thing to do as I see it.
I needed that literal lol. It's been a long day! Thank you!
Exactly, and that's why you have your sidearm holster on the right. So the breakfast gun goes on the left to make dual-wielding easier, all while freeing your right hand to scoop eggs and bacon into your mouth.
